Saturday 13th June We are back in the UK after 3 months of exciting adventures preparing for our next 9(ish) months. Since the last update we have left Norway, been back through Sweden, into Denmark and visited Hamburg, Berlin and the fairytale route in Germany. Here is a selection of the last images from Europe. Enjoy! |

Norwegian fjords are magnificent from every angle.
We found that the Norwegians like to give their trees socks!
Not sure whether it is for practical reasons or just to make them look pretty.
We had more driving accross the top of some Norwegian mountains...
Where the scenery was screaming out to be photographed!
It was really quite warm up there.
Houses, literally, in the middle of nowhere!
This sign for a 'bomstasjon' or toll station where the toll prices really do cost a bomb!
What's that all about then!
Not sure what this building is but it looked nice enough to photograph.
Interesting sculptures were all around Oslo, Sweden.
Not quite Starbucks!
Another sculpture or should I say 'Skulptur'!
A brilliant window display for a restaurant in Oslo.
I say, do you come here often?
Shooting people from the top of the opera house in Oslo.
The sun was obviously too much for one person.
Mr fitness himself! No not Mr Thorvildsen but Mr Wild!
How rude... there are children present!
Hick... some err.. preparation, before we went to the Carlsberg brewery in Copenhahen!
10,000 bottles of beer on the wall, 10,000 bottles of beer, if one of those bottles should accidentally fall, how many bottles of beer?
We think this cat may have been sampling some of the 'local liquid'!
Schmoozing the mermaids!
Lucas the Carlsberg horse.
Hick... obligatory smapling... I mean sampling!
Two smiley chappies!
Where are we? This doesn't look like Copenhagen!
Not the boxer! But very popular with Copenhagens teenage girls.
At the Tivoli Gardens in Oslo, Sweden, we saw Linda Andrews (a runner up in the Swedish X Factor).
Beautiful blue skies in Denmark.
Ermm... Becca... What's for dinner?
Awwwwwwwwww baby swans.
Chilehaus in Hamburg, Germany.
It's the future of transport!
Hamburg dungeon... this picture of it is all we could afford, so we didn't go in.
Taking shelter from the rain.
Frauen-Stellplatz! Our German isn't great, but when we asked a local he said it was "wife parking"!
The Berlin wall, or what's left of it.
Work it baby!
Part of the Berlin wall, the East Side Gallery, which is being controversially re-painted.
Another artist at work. They had to repair some of the wall before current painting could be carried out.
Will do!
The Berlin wall even has a tourist shop.
Original East Side Gallery.
Gendarmenmarkt!
Checkpoint Mini at checkpoint Charlie!
Not actually military personel, just a street seller.
We'll soon be seeing the real thing!
Gurning at the art!
More 'military personel' just for the tourists.
Get a job!
This man was actually charging people to have their passports stamped with old East/West German stamps. The tourists were loving it although I'm not sure passport control will see the funny side.
The Jewish memorial, Berlin.
Not sure if this is industrial or art!?!
4 mins 37 seconds!
A bombed out department store that was taken over by artists.
Lots and lots and lots of graffitti.
